Michael Wacha surrendered four runs on eight hits over five innings in Sunday's loss to the Braves.

Wacha struck out just one while walking one in the afternoon outing. He gave up a Danny Santana RBI single and an Ozzie Albies sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and a two-run Brandon Phillips homer in the fifth to account for the scoring on his line. While Wacha holds a respectable 3.85 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, he has not pitched deeper than six innings in any of his last five starts. He will try to provide a little more length when he takes to the mound against the Pirates in a road outing next time out. Aug 13 - 5:14 PM

Michael Wacha allowed three runs on six hits over his six frames in Tuesday's victory over the Royals.

The right-hander punched out five on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. All of the damage against him came in the fourth inning on a bases-clearing double by Cheslor Cuthbert. Wacha is enjoying a nice bounce-back season, compiling a 9-4 record, 3.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 115/38 K/BB ratio across 116 2/3 innings on the season. He'll take on the Braves at home on Sunday.

Michael Wacha was lifted after allowing one run in four innings Thursday against the Brewers.

Wacha's spot came up with two on in a 1-1 game in the top of the fifth, so the Cardinals opted to hit for him. Since he was at 81 pitches, he likely would have been good for just one more inning anyway, making it look like the right decision. Unfortunately, it backfired for Mike Matheny, as pinch-hitter Luke Voit grounded into an inning-ending double play. Worse, Brett Cecil gave up a run in the fifth and the Cardinals went on to lose 2-1. Aug 3 - 5:46 PM

Michael Wacha fired six scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Wacha held the D-Backs to just three hits while walking one batter and striking out five. He found himself in trouble in the sixth inning, but he managed to strike out David Peralta swinging with two on to end his night. He’s won five out of his last six starts and sits at 8-4 with a 3.71 ERA on the year. He’ll try to keep it going in an NL Central showdown against the Brewers next week. Jul 29 - 1:19 AM

Reyes is simply making throws from one knee at this point, but it's a big first step as he works his way back from February Tommy John surgery. The young right-hander is expected to be ready for the beginning of next season.

He's heading back to St. Louis for an MRI. Rosenthal's injury is specific to the posterior part of his elbow, which is the same area where the UCL is located. This would explain why his velocity was way down Wednesday against the Red Sox. Rosenthal had been doing a nice job in the closer role, producing a 1.88 ERA while going a perfect 7-for-7 in save chances since the All-Star break. Look for Seung Hwan Oh to lead a ninth-inning committee during his absence.
